There are many new and interesting feat
nIres In the senatorial situation tonight. Rol-
Inns withdrawal as candidate before the
caucus was not generally expected. Many
Republicans, not his supporters, seem at
loss to account for it. He would certainly
nave received some votes in the caucus had
ne not Withdrawn. Neither Rollins nor his
supporters are especially friendly to Chand-
ler Hence the votes of the latter in the
caucus will be given to Marston or some 9TH
er antl-Chandler candidate. The caucus has
been called for o'clock tomorrow evening.
Chandler's adherents continue to manifest
the same confidence as heretofore.
Inc MarstOn men submitted proposition
10 the Chandler forces this afternoon to elect
the former for the short term and Chandler
lor tne long term beginning March 4, 1889,
put the proposition was declined. The lead
ers OF Marston's supporters and the anti
chandler men held an informal conference
subsequently and practically concluded to
remain out of the caucus tomorrow night.
Y; Y. Sulloway Of Manchester, pronounced
Marston man, who attended the Republican
caucus for nomination of State officers this
evening, made vigorous speech sdeclaring
MS intention to vote forI Gen. Marston and
announcing his determination not to 20 into
the Senatorial caucus, and not to be bound
by Its action. His address created consider
able excitement for short time, and an i'm
mediate adjournment was made The oppo-
nents OF Chandler claim tonight that be-
tween 30 and 40 Republicans will decline to
attend the caucus. To prevent an election
the cacus nominee will require only 16 Re-
publicans with the Democratic votes. Lead
ing Marston men said there would certainly
be more than that number unless the Chan
dler men accepted their proposition to elect
Marston for the short term and Chandler for
the long term. Chandler's friends appear
not to be disturbed in the least by the claims
OF his opponents. Under the law the
balloting will occur in each branch
Tuesday and in joint convention Wednesday.
Inc democratic caucus will nominate Hon.
Harry Bingham of Littleton.
